“Came in for dinner ordered a combo plate. Was delicious. Very friendly. Great customer service. Ordered water for my drink I was expecting a regular glass of tap water, but was offered a bottle of water free of charge. I'm definitely coming back. I would eat over any food chain. # support small business owners.“

“Great food. Friendly service. Nice vibe. Haven’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in a while, but we were craving their lettuce wraps. Our server, Josh, helped me make a final decision on which tofu dish to try. So glad he did! The crispy and spicy tofu was delicious!!🙌“

“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!“

“Delicious food . Not a long wait. I will return 🤗“

“I've never met such honest and beautiful people before. This restaurant has some of the best characters in the business. When I say they loaded my plate ,it filled to the brim. food was beyond expectation, which is my compliments to the chef. If this helps you decide to eat at this restaurant, I've done my job.“

“Yummy yummy food!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“The best taste ever. Real Koreans, go here.
It's so, so, so delicious, and I haven't been able to get my mouth full since I ate this place from Korea. I'm sure there's no such delicious malatang anywhere in the world, not even in mainland China. It's so delicious that I wonder if something was really done to the soup, and it's so addictive that I'll be eating it for a week. I think about it three times. Please, please drink it. Please.“

“My braised cashew chicken was absolutely delicious that I I got this afternoon 15/3/2023. Thank you very much Kim“

“Found this hidden gem in Whittier! Tried the dumplings and they were authentic and delicious! They also have a lot of different items such as noodle dishes and fried appetizers. Ordered the fried potstickers, dumplings, and sesame noodle, definitely recommend the potstickers they were so good!“

“Super fast and friendly service. It's always so yummy eating at this place with my two girls and their cousins. Super easy access to the restaurant! Noodles and their mandu are so good - actually all their menu items are so delicious! Can't wait until we try again next time.“

“Do not sleep on this food!

I’m a foodie and this was no disappointment. We ordered Dan Dan noodles, Orange Chicken, Juicy Pork Dumplings, and broccoli beef. All were so tasty and so incredibly fresh; one of the best new additions in Huntington Beach period. Normally I’m hesitant to order orange chicken because it always seems to be a disappointment but this Orange chicken was actually the best I’ve ever had.

Next time I will definitely be ordering chili beef, green beans and pan fried dumplings as they looked amazing. If this place continues to stay consistent with quality and freshness, it will be non-stop busy.

Not the most amazing atmosphere. It’s somewhat cold feeling and doesn’t have a stylish vibe like din tai fung but the food is worth the visit.“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“It's the same as the best Chinese restaurant in town when I was a child. This is the only place where you can enjoy the same atmosphere and taste as you remember. I really, really love this restaurant.

Rajogi, scorched rice, black bean noodles, jjamppong, and noodles are all so delicious.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lee's BBQ & Boba Chinese Food. I was thoroughly impressed! The flavors are absolutely delicious, with each dish prepared perfectly. The meats are tender and flavorful, and the variety of options on the menu made it hard to choose just one. I highly recommend the chicken Chow Mein and the dumpling soup — they were simply outstanding!

It's clear that they take pride in their food and customer experience. Whether you're craving a quick bite or a satisfying meal with friends, this is a perfect place to visit.

Can't wait to return for more amazing food.“

“was fresh & flavorful great service“

“First, they bring out a small bowl of salted, roasted peanuts to snack on while you peruse the menu. The egg drop soup feeds 3-4 people. It’s huge. The dinner portions are massive. The service was absolutely 5-star and fast! We were encouraged by the fact that most of our fellow diners were Asian, and there was a steady flow of traffic. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. It was a seamless experience.“

“I usually take out/delivery and this place is really good. It's a small business so it makes me feel good to support the community. You cannot go wrong with the Chinese food here at all. I also appreciate the variety of Chinese food available here, its not just orange chicken, but they have shrimp, pork, and fish dishes. Even the boba is really good and nice and chewy. Don't skip the boba here either.“

“The best bang for your buck for sure! I just got a three item plate (plus 50/50 rice/chow mein), an order of cream cheese wontons (cooked fresh!) And a huge soda for $18. On to the food: every single dish I've had here has been fresh, delicious and top notch. Excellent food. I really want to try the bbq pork, it looks incredible! They home make their own hotsauce. The hotter version is legit hott, and the standard version adds a unique spiciness to the already flavorful and delicious food. Every time I go here, the people are so nice and actually care about you. Do not hesitate, and check this place out. The atmosphere is quiet and it's pretty plain-jane as far as cosmetics, but they more than make up for it in the kitchen and at the counter. One of my top 5 favorite spots in the area. More reviews coming soon“

“I recently held my wedding at Diamond Seafood Palace earlier this month, and I can’t say enough good things about their accommodations, service, and attention to detail. Their team and staff went above and beyond, exceeding not just my expectations, but those of my family and guests as well. To this day, everyone is still raving about the night, and I’m thrilled it was as unforgettable for them as it was for me.

A special thanks to Diamond’s events team for making my day truly extraordinary. Their exceptional organization made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. If you’re searching for a wedding venue in Orange County, stop looking—Diamond Palace is the perfect choice. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The food is good, the portions are generous and the people were very friendly. I have only used the take out, the food was hot and ready to go on time as promised. I plan to go back and try the dine in soon. From the expressions to I saw on the people there, I expect it to be a good experience.“

“Ordered food as they were closing they were very friendly and even helped us pick combos that would be more variety and just enough for two rather than ordering one dish a la cart . They were very very kind and the food was hot and delicious. I loved the vegetables and thought everything was very good. The customer service is so great they treat you like family.

Vegetarian options: The vegetables are crisp and fresh and served in light sauce very yummy so are egg rolls no meat in the egg rolls delicious“

“Been coming here for over 15 years. Great selection of dishes prepared with consistent flavors and fast service. Never had a bad meal in anything I've tried, although the curry could be kicked up a notch. Staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are very reasonable to portions served. Hard to beat the lunch deals too! Their hot & sour soup is the best around. Often have the large bowl with a side of brown rice as a lunch meal.

Vegetarian options: Several dishes on the dinner menu that are vegetable based and you can request a protein, including tofu, of your liking.“

“Such great food and the staff is amazing! Love this place brings back such great memories!“

“Good food at reasonable prices.great for lunch or take out. Casual dining.“

“We got several items to share in our group. The food was all very good except for the chicken fried rice. The wontons in chili oil were good but i think the shape of the dumplings made the sauce not stick very well. Overall a great place to get dim sum. My favorite was the choe mein (with beef) and the garlic green beans. They were phenominal“

“Lady that took my order over the phone made sure to explain the menu items I wanted to order before finalizing my pickup order. Upon picking up my order she made sure to go over my entire order and had it packed perfectly. When I got home and unpacked my order, all items were labeled and even included a note letting me know one of the items was extra hot. Little details like this is what keeps my family and I coming back to Ho Ho China. Thank you to the staff and cooks, keep up the great work!“

“Good service.
Plenty food at accesibile price.
Lot of chosse to eat.
Very testy items and all the time fresh.

Parking: Lot of spot to park all day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Is accesible“

“My 8yr old says this place is 5 out of 5! It’s our go to spot for Chinese!!

Parking: It shares a parking lot with other restaurants and businesses… so it’s ok!

Kid-friendliness: My kid says the food is kid friendly“

“Food was really good and comforting. Restaurant is very clean, doesn’t smell like typical Chinese restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night for dinner, so there was no wait and the food came out quick! Service was great, attentive and friendly.

Favorite dishes: house special fried rice & salt and pepper pork chop“

“valuable, set lunch very good. especially Chai Siu Fired rice, homemade Chao Siu is really taste good.“

“*****ORDER FOOD WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATION****
*****ORDER AHEAD FOR TAKE OUT ABOUT 2 Hours or More*****

Everything in New China is cooked on request, so the food is fresh. Some dishes can take an hour, two, or three hours to prepare. So order your food about one to two hours ahead when you want to pick it up, and they will prepare it for that time so it is hot off the wok.

We love this place. We discovered it earlier this month, in January 2025, and have already been twice as a group of six. We order way too much food to sample, which still comes under $30 per person.

This is the absolute freshest, tastiest Chinese food around. One of our couples has been eating Chinese around the Whittier area for over 30 years, and they were also there for the first time this month. They were jonesing to go back so soon. We still need to try the moo shu pork. I need to order that one 3 hours ahead of time.

One woman does everything out front, and two or three men cook in the back. The last time we arrived, two other couples were dining, and the service was excellent. That night, there was a notice on the door that said no drop-in take-out (see above about ordering ahead). Service can be slower if several groups arrive simultaneously, but the food is well worth it. If you want, you can take your time at this restaurant with a dinner lasting two or three hours and won't be rushed out. It's a great place to go as a group or a couple.“

“Tasty Goody in Norwalk is hands down the best Chinese food place this side of the Mississippi. I go there whenever I want some ? orange chicken, and it never disappoints. The portions are huge, and the prices are great for how much food you get. The orange chicken has the perfect amount of crunch and sauce, and the noodles are always fresh. I’ve tried a lot of places, but nothing really compares to Tasty Goody. Plus, the people there are super nice and quick with your order. Definitely my go-to spot for Chinese food.“

“I love everything about Chowking . From Siopao, mami, wanton soup and desserts and drinks. Halo halo, buchi buchi, taho, and so much more. Feels like you’re in pinas.👍🥰“

“I love this little restaurant it was actually my 1st time going yesterday evening* they were gonna close in like 30 minutes but they cooked my food fresh everything was delicious 😋 steamed dumplings sooooo good* combination chow mien delicious as well*“

“Soto Band LOVES Kung Pao Bowl“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants, I've been going there for years.The food is just super, from the appetizers to the main dishes nothing has ever disappointed. When I walk through the door they know what I want to start off with and will occasionally recommend a new dish.“

“For a Chinese northern dumpling restaurant in Long Beach, it’s quite delicious. We had beer with various dishes & enjoyed a good afternoon watching people go by was a fabulous Americans still need to be familiar with Asian dining, not PFChang.They must be shorthanded since they only have one waitress & assistance. Kitchen staff must be overwhelmed as guests are coming in. This must be a fluke.“

“First visit with a friend who has been there multiple times and is one of her favorites. Ordered Walnut Shrimp, MaPo Tofu, Sautéed Eggplant, "A" Vegetable, Hot Chili Pepper Whole Fish. All dishes were delicious. My only disappointment was the amount of fish ratio to the price. Extensive menu and looking forward to returning to try other dishes.“

“Great service and food. Very reasonably priced as well. I've only been here a handful of times, but it's been enjoyable each time. The service is quick and amiable, and the food is well made and delicious (from what I've tried at least). My friend loves the egg flower soup and broccoli beef. I enjoy the orange chicken as well as some of the sides. Definitely recommend visiting, and there's also some good choices for dessert nearby.“

“Good Chinese food with family or friends“

“Looking for that American Style Chinese food you remember when you were growing up? The one with the zodiac placemats and the Po Po Platter? Minus the place mats this is the spot. I celebrated my 48th birthday there today and couldn't be happier. The waitress was so nice. Couldn't have asked for a better early dinner.“

“A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Westminster - BAOS HOG Review Stepping into BAOS HOG, you're immediately welcomed by a fusion of contemporary decor and inviting ambiance. This small, yet noteworthy establishment stands out in Westminster for its innovative approach to bao buns, often known as "baos." Each bao is a masterpiece, with the Hog special possibly being the star of the show. The pork is succulent and flavorful, indicative of the care in preparation. Accompanied by crisp, fresh vegetables and a secret sauce that adds an unexpected but delightful kick, it's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Beyond the baos, the menu is an eclectic mix, suggesting influences from various cuisines, a bold move that seems to pay off. The drinks selection complements the food, with both traditional options and more unique offerings, indicating that the proprietors are aficionados seeking to provide a full culinary experience. Service is efficient and warm.“

“Wow 🤩 just found a phenomenal local BBQ master and SHE, yes SHE is definitely The Smoke Queen!! Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious, will definitely order again! Let’s support local and small businesses like such.“

“It was my first time going to this restaurant and I was surprised to see Jjambbong served. First of all, the portion was large, the noodles were chewy, and the soup was like a thick jjamppong soup.
The downside was that the soup was too hot and there was too much of it, but I ate it well.“

“The portions are so generous. Food is on point. Customer service is good. The noodles and fried rice with orange chicken and teriyaki chicken is a must have here!!! Have been coming here for 9 years but this place has been open way longer than that. My husband has been coming here since he was a kid. Now we share two children together and we come here and eat as a family every so often. Never disappointed with food and service here. I RECOMMEND 100%“

“The family was in the mood for some Korean Chinese food and the place closer to my house was closed so we found this place. With good reviews we decided to try it. For those that grew up with Korean Chinese food, this place is just like what you remember from back in the day. They didn't try to modernize anything and just kept it as is, just like it's supposed to be. Everything was good and it tasted fresh. I usually don't order Mongolian beef as most times, the meat is very chewy, but it wasn't here. It was tender and flavored very nicely. We also ordered the Noodles with Black Bean Sauce Noodle aka Jajangmyeon. I liked it but it wasn't great. My family on the other hand thought that it was great. The Sweet & Sour pork and the Fried Shrimp with hot garlic sauce were crunchy despite us ordering to go. Their portion size was also good. I find most places charge more AND reduce the portion size but here, although the prices did increase, the portion size is still good. That's a big plus in my book. Overall, I would come back here again and would recommend it to others.“

“Here’s a refined version of your description:

Tucked away as a true hidden gem, this cozy spot serves family-style Chinese food at unbeatable prices. The warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with exceptional customer service, makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. We opted for the family meals, which allow you to customize your order based on group size, with flexible options for each dish. You can even adjust the spice level or swap ingredients, like we did by changing one chow mein to a veggie version instead of beef.

Every detail was carefully attended to, from the food’s delivery to the impeccable service, and most importantly, the taste. The dishes were savory, fresh, and comforting—approved 100% by my mom, who already can't wait to return! And let me tell you, the wonton soup was simply perfect, bursting with flavor in every bite. The ambiance suits both large groups and solo diners, and you get to pick your seating when you walk in. Whether you're sharing a feast with family or ordering a single plate for yourself, this spot will leave you wanting more.“

“I'm very pleased with the food, taste and service. Definitely try the chicken Tika marsala.“

“This is a chain restaurant, so there were no surprises about what to expect as we've been to one before. This chang was accommodating to a larger group of us and delivered on the expectation.
(A per peeve of mine is a sticky table. The table was clean. However, the carrousel in the table was tacky)“

“The food here is SO good. But, they have messed up my order twice now with giving me my sides and they don’t give me all that I order. I ordered chow main, fried rice, and egg rolls and none of it was received. I called them and let them know I’m disabled and can’t come in to return my food and they told me to leave a note in my order to prevent this from happening again. Food is delicious so I keep coming back and I’m grateful they exist.

Vegetarian options: Amazing vegetarian and vegan selection. I get kung pao tofu, fried rice, chow main, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls are all a must!!!“
